Prince Edward Bathtub Cutout — DIY Kit $299 or Pro Install

Bathing safety in Prince Edward starts with rethinking how you get in and out of your bathtub. A step cutout replaces the high wall over the tub with a low step-in threshold — same tub, same tile, same plumbing, but far easier and safer to use.

Trenworks is a Canadian home-services company serving Ontario homeowners since 2004. Our focus has been senior bathroom safety since 2012 — a story that started with our own family, when my mother slipped getting out of the bathtub and I installed her first bathtub step cutout, grab bars, and shower accessories to keep her safe. Since then we have completed thousands of bathroom safety installations across Ontario. See how a walk-in tub conversion keeps the tub you have and lowers the step to a few inches.

What a bathtub cutout does for Prince Edward homes

A bathtub cutout removes a section of your existing bathtub sidewall and installs a durable step-in insert. Instead of stepping high over a 15-inch tub wall to get into the shower, you step over a low 4-6 inch threshold. Same tub, same tile, same plumbing — just easier and safer to use.

DIY kit from $299 — or full professional installation

Our DIY bathtub cutout kits start at $299: the cutout insert sized to your tub, the cutting template, the adhesive and the step-by-step instructions, for a handy homeowner or a contractor. Pickup only, never shipped; the reinforcement, the tools and the finishing are yours to supply.

Prefer to have it done for you? Read how our tub to shower conversion works: one visit of about three hours, no demolition, and the tub stays.

Prefer to have it done for you? Professional installation by our factory-trained Prince Edward and Prince Edward County installers is priced separately and quoted after a free in-home assessment. Most professional installs are completed in a single day, with no demolition, no full bathroom remodel, and no weeks of construction dust in the Prince Edward home.

Optional removable door cap — full tub in 2 seconds

Our optional removable door cap is a game-changer for households that still want the option of a full bathing tub. It clips into the cutout opening and seals watertight, converting your step-in cutout back to a full bathtub in about 2 seconds. Perfect for when grandchildren visit, when you want a deep soak, or when your household’s needs change over time. Best of both worlds — safer daily use, full bath whenever you want.

Why professional installation matters

A bathtub cutout has to be watertight, structurally sound, and finished cleanly. Done wrong, water can seep behind the cut edge into the wall cavity and cause hidden mold damage. Done right, it looks like it was part of the original bathtub design. Our factory-trained installers understand what to seal, how to bond the insert to the tub material, and how to finish the transition so it holds up for years. If you’re handy and want to install the DIY kit yourself, that option is available — but for most Prince Edward and Prince Edward County homeowners, professional installation is worth the peace of mind.
